Abstract
A system and method for a networked viral family tree are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method, comprises receiving a first profile from a first client. The first profile includes a first e-mail address. A second e-mail address is received from the first client. The second e-mail address is associated with a second profile. The second profile is created dynamically when the client provides the second e-mail address. An invitation is sent to the second e-mail address to provide additional profile information associated with the second profile. One or more relationships are associated to the first profile and the second profile to generate a family tree. One or more user interfaces is provided through which the first client provides a plurality of e-mail addresses corresponding to members of the family tree and are associated with of a plurality of profiles.
